More Creature Submissions

We'll be requesting more creature submissions in the following days - with different criteria than the previous round. Stay tuned!

Summoned Conclave

Representatives | LINK

New representatives must be chosen this meeting. Any Summoned who want to hold their current positions need to resubmit their bid.

Motions Sanctioned | LINK

Motions from April's meeting have been passed for each faction. Thorne now has a permanent portal open to Borrel, at no cost or fee. The Free Cities has agreed to try and negotiate for the Summoned to return and investigate the sunken island used by the Acolytes.

World Events

All Factions

Feywilds | Link
The Summoned were exclusively invited to visit the Feywilds, without the presence of any faction officials. There, they were able to explore the unknown land, speak to the Fey, and attend a grand Masquerade at the end of the week.

Rifts | Link
Strange rifts have opened up around Abraxas, both in and out of towns. Unusual creatures have come through these rifts, including those that the Summoned might recognize from their home worlds. To date, the rifts are still opening.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Reply under the appropriate faction with the form to propose a motion. Because only one proposal will be heard by nation officials each meeting (every 2 months), the motion should be important to your character which affects the Summoned in your faction overall.

Motions should be proposed below by mid-month and votes should conclude by the end of the month, in time to be formally submitted to the mod team.

For personal requests, use the Plot Engagement as usual.

◎ Submissions are IC. By submitting, your character is actively suggesting their idea in-game to the other Summoned during the meeting.

◎ To support, players can +1 beneath a motion they support.

◎ A motion must have at least 3 in support to be considered. If multiple are in play, the one with the most support will be heard by officials. You may resubmit motions from a previous meeting.

◎ Submitting a motion each meeting is not required. If no one has anything to propose, the Conclave will reconvene next round.

Character Name: Istredd
Motion: Like the Free Cities, he motions that they would like to request aid in gaining access to the island and surrounding area where the Lost were held to investigate for relics like the shrines, signs of the shrine monster and where it disappeared to, and anything about the old gods.

Character Name: wanda maximoff
Motion: the settlements are many and far in between, and while there already is something like a semi-regular 'public transportation' set in place, it might be beneficial to draw the connection with the settlements even further by putting up lamps in what are considered the 'roads' between settlements. this will not only serve as a guiding light for anyone traveling about, but might also raise the element of safety while traveling. should anyone get lost, they could also make their way to one of the lamps and follow the path to civilization.

Character Name: Nero
Motion: Like the Free Cities and Thorne, Nero is pushing the idea to gain access to the island again for investigating. Now most people probably have more interesting ideas about it, but he wants to burn it to the ground and double-check there aren't any gods or god powers still lingering there that he can kick in the ass.

[burning shit down is a valid coping mechanism.]

[ at least until the place has been thoroughly looked over. kinda feel like the "setting it on fire" thing should be a different motion entirely. ]

BURN IT DOWN!!!!
